(Me2NCH2) C6H4] were synthesized by reaction of RBiBr2 with C6F5MgBr and 2, 4, 6-
(C6F5) 3C6H2Li, respectively, in a 1: 2 molar ratio. The Bi-chiral bromides R (C6F5) BiBr (3),
R (Mes) BiBr (4), and R (Ph) BiBr (5) were obtained from RBiBr2 and C6F5MgBr, MesMgBr
or PhMgBr, or from PhBiBr2 and RLi, in a 1: 1 molar ratio. The molecular structures of 1–5
were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and are discussed taking into account the …
